I'm installing a 240 volt electric baseboard heating system that has a total watts of 5,000. A 2500 and a 1500 watt unit will each have their own wall thermostat. Then there will be two 500 watt units each with their own unit mounted thermostat. I plan on using a 30 amp breaker and 10-2 wire. My question is, the units are spread out over quit a distance and I wondering if I can run 10-2 wiring to a central location and then branch off to each unit or thermostat with 12-2. Will this overload any wires and is it OK to put a junction box in the circuit like this?
Thanks
